Autotrader website Q's

Hi,

Does anyone know when the Autotrader website gets updated?

The magazine is out every Thursday but do the ads in there go on the website on Thursday too? Is it a waste of time buying the magazine?

Cheers, J

I always asumed when someone advertised it almost instantaneously went up. I personally think using the website is best if you know what you're after. With the magazine you can browse without having to wade through the BS ads on there about buying a car for however much a week etc.

The ads get updated on the same day the magazine goes into the shops. In some areas, this is Friday so most ads appear on the website on Thu and Fri. Over and above that, any internet only ads go on as soon as they are submitted.

You're right about the magazine .... I have a friend who works for WHSmiths and says that Auto Trader sales have dropped by 75% since the ads started appearing on the net.
